This mortgage process is brutal

I have been going throught this mortgage process since 10.30.12 and this is just brutal.  The waiting game is the worst part, I am set to close on 12.10.12 and that date cannot come soon enough. 

 

I can do nothing but sit around and think about it.  An underwriter was assigned to my file yesterday so I am waiting to hear back about what her conditions are.  Hopefully I get the appraisal report today if not I will be waiting until Monday.

 

Does anyone have any tips on how not to freak out and not drive yourself completely insane during this process???

 

I just need to vent and I love this forum so I figured this was as good a place as any!

 

Thanks all

Sounds like it has been very easy so far.

 

If you are still dealing with problems in January, then it is starting to become difficult.

Re: This mortgage process is brutal

my wife and I have been the doing the whole waiting game now for almost 3 months because it's a new build.  The waiting is def the worst part, but we tried to just look at the positive side of things and used the time to shop around for things we are going to need to get the best price possible.  Don't get me wrong, we still get stressed out from time to time, especially when the underwritter shoots us an email, but we get her the stuff she needs and move on with our day.  Best of luck!

Re: This mortgage process is brutal

Yep, it is.  I was the same way, but it is so worth it.  I was told to just do what I needed to do to get it done.  "ItT'S NOT TIME TO RELAX YET. The time to enjoy is after it closes".  I hope those words prove to be golden for you too.

 

In the meantime vent all you need too.  It will be over b4 you know it and on that day...U will forget about all the stress and drama you encountered.

 

Hang in there.  Dance it off if possibleSmiley Wink
